God has given parents the privilege, authority, and responsibility of raising children (Deuteronomy 6:6-7, Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 6:4). When parents choose to partner with Summit Christian Academy, they do so with the understanding that the school serves in loco parentis, a Latin term meaning “in the place of a parent.” This concept refers to the school’s role in acting as an extension of the parents’ authority and responsibility while students are under the school’s care. This means that, while Summit Christian Academy honors parents as the primary role in guiding their children’s education and spiritual growth, it also takes on certain responsibilities in overseeing students’ conduct, development, and well-being during school hours. Summit Christian Academy administration, faculty, and staff partner with parents to nurture and educate students in a manner consistent with scripture and the vision and mission of the school.
